Preliminary Non-Contacting Steering Angle Sensor for Commercial Vehicles
Introduction
The Bourns® Non-Contacting Steering Angle Sensor is specifically designed for commercial vehicle steering applications. The sensor
is based on two magneto-resistive (AMR) sensor chips. Each of them converts an angle position of a permanent magnet into two
analog signals (one sine and one cosine signal). A highly-efficient algorithm within the sensor’s microprocessor calculates the absolute
angular position of the steering system. This sensor takes into account the increased steering angular range used in commercial
vehicles as well as larger voltage range and higher overvoltage protection requirements which are needed during start-up.
